Crazy about her (Marcel fanfiction)

chapter 16: lies and ties.

AVA LEE POV

A week had gone by and still nothing from Marcel. He always looked at me in the halls and in class. I smiled at him, but he would ignore it, and keep walking. I wanted to talk to him. But my anger got the best of me, and wouldn't let me. It still hurt that he left me like that. I didn't understand why.

Two more days had passed and still nothing. I had finally had enough. I marched myself all the way over to his house.  I wanted answers, there was no way I was breaking my promise that easily.

As I made my way around the corner, I seen a black car in his driveway. It was an unusual looking car,  clearly nothing he nor his mom owned.

I knocked on the door, and his mother answered.

"Hey Anne, could I borrow Marcel for a minute? It's a little important." I asked quietly. She only nodded and ushered him over. He stepped outside with me and we walked for a minute.

"whats going on?  Do you not want me around anymore?" I sniffed, it was a little chilly. And I felt tears filling in my eyes.

"yes I want you around. I told you how I felt..things have just changed a little... A lot actually.." he stared blankly at the ground. " you haven't talked to me in a while."

I felt like laughing at him, " I have smiled and tried to get your attention, and nothing. Not to mention, that night.. You left. I found you on the couch."

I had felt my tears run down my face, he reached and wiped one of my cheeks off.

"I, I am soo sorry. I didn't even think about it like that. Ava Lee, I promise on everything that it wasn't like that. As bad as I would have liked to stay there with you, it was wrong. You were easily taken advantage of. And I refused to be that guy. Even if it was only sleeping. You werent fully in your mind. Ava, I am truly sorry."

What?  I couldn't believe it. He... that little shit. I was so freaking sad about all of the other reasons that I had come up with in my stupid head, that my being drunk didn't even come to mind.

My feelings had all of a sudden become overwhelming. I was imaging it all. Wait...

"why have you been avoiding me then?" I had forgotten for a split second. This better be good.

"Things have changed. It's kind of hard to explain. I am not even sure if I could." he seemed a little depressed about the situation.

We stood in silence for a long while it seemed. Then he decided what he wanted to say next.

"Ava Lee, I know I have kind of messed up a great deal. And I have really been thinking. You have been unbelievably amazing to me. I have been very afraid of losing you. But I never sat down and realized that I wasnt doing what I should have been doing all along to make sure you would stay in my life.  You have become my best friend. More than that, honesly." His big green eyes got tiny wrinkles next to them as his face filled with his amazing smile that grew to compliment his dimples. " Ava,  I never want to lose you. I couldn't you have become quite a bit of my world. This last week has been misery with out you."

"Marcel, I know. Believe me. I haven't stopped worrying." I grew a little happier getting a little bit figured out.

He broke in my thought, "I want you to be my girlfriend. I want you to be my best friend. I want you. I have realized that since you have been gone, I haven't been able to be happy. What do you say? H'm? " he hummed, reaching a hand and placing it on my cheek.

I had become nervous, and giddy. I was screaming on the inside. "Are you kidding me?" I violently nodded my head up and down. His smile became bigger.

And then he surprised us both. He kissed me. He did it. Nervous, shakey, all bent out of shape Marcel made the first two moves.

The kiss was amazing. You know that comforting feeling when you have just spent all day in the snow, and your socks got soaked through your shoes and you change your socks into warm dry ones. The comforting feeling that everyone takes for granted. Of course it wasn't on my feet, but it was still a feeling I never wanted to stop feeling.

It seemed to last forever. And I didn't mind. Finally when it did, he led me to his door.

"I need to show you something. But don't be shy. It's going to be different from now on. And I might as well take advantage of our new status." he winked at me.

As we walked into the house, I was surprised to find a guy who was around the same age as Marc and I. In fact, he looked exceptionally like Marcel.

He stood up and reached a hand out towards me."Hi..I am Harry. Marcel's twin brother. You are?"
